importation of Eggs.

In 1876 the United States imported about 5,O0O,-
900 dozen of eggs, and m 1885 the quantity had in
creased to 100000 Dozen representing money
value Of S25OO,OOO, every penny OF which had to be
paid in gold coin. AT tins rate OF increase We
should pay to foreign countries during 80 years
for the single item of eggs, an amount more than
equal to the present national debt. But the i'm
pOrtatiun of eggs must very soon cease. The dis
covery of Sheridans Powder 10 make hens lay has
already increased the supply OF eggs to a very Rp-
precahle extent, and it seems safe To assume that
the continued use of this powder will double tine
egg product within five years BY the persistent
and intelligent use of Sheridan's Powder, hens ar.
made To lay nearly the entire year, and especially
during the season when eggs bring the highest
price This fact has encouraged thousands of ppo-
pie to 90 into the business who would not other
wise have done so. 1t is not necessary to have "A
farm to keep hens on, as many suppose Hens
may be kept conveniently and prohtably in a large
and crowded city. In fact, the whole business of
poultry keeping has been reduced To a science dur

Those who cultivate house-plants need
not be told how much care is necessary to
keep them thrifty and unfrostbitten during
our severe winters, and especially in com
mon open, cold houses. have seldom seen
house-plants in families where there We're
young children, probably for the reason
that the latter require much attention as
to leave little or none for the former. But
when parents lack children for pets, think
house plants are the next most appropriate

gushing appendage | ever yet saw to lady

are more likely to freeze, but should be en-
abled to catch every possible ray of sun
shine, and as much fresh air, during bright,
warm days, as possible.-MoJ. Ben: Rerieg

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Nice Way. to Cook Oysters.

4 lady who is famous for her oyster cook
ing, and who has been for years making a
collection of choice recipes, contributes q
few whose excellence and novelty she can
vouch for. A mock roast is easy and de
Hcious. The liquor is first drained from the
meats and any chance pieces Of shell re
moved Then the oysters are placed in Il
frying pan and set upon the fire. where, as
fast as the liquor collects, it tx drawn OFT.
This process is continued until the oysters
are done brown. when they are served hot,
with fresh butter
Little pigs in blankets are made by
first draining the oysters and seasoning
with salt and pepper, and then cutting tat
bacon into very thin slices and wrapping a
big oyster in each slice. fastening it with a
wooden skcwer--a toothpick is best. The
frving-pan must be heated well before the
little pigs are put in, and they must be
cooked long enough for the bacon to crisp.
They are to be served Immediately on toast
cut into small pieces.
Planned oysters are very nice, and are sa
worry and digestible for invalids. The oys-
tcrs must be drained and bits of shell re-
moved They must then be put into hot

pepper to a quart of meats, and cooked
over a brisk fire until they begin to curl,
which will be in five minutes. They can be
served hot on toast or eaten plain.
A more elaborate dish is an oyster loaf.

The disease may be carried to susceptible
persons by the bacillus tuberculosis which

to the fact that, in close. ill-yeutilatod

1t has been said for the last two or three
years that the "ranching' business in the
west was overdune. This assertion is now
borne out bv the statement of cattle men in
Chicago, who say that the great herds in
Wyoming territory must soon cease to ex-
ist on account of the disappearance Of the

The profit or loss which may follow from
this state Of things concerns the cattle men

Corn md Pork,

The old rule used to be that every in
crease of ten cents bushel for corn repre-
scented or required an increased price of one
cent per pound in pork. Few farmers feed
ing corn exclusively could make pork by
this rule. The prevalent belief of most
Eastern farmers is that beyond the number
of hogs needed tn eat up refuse that would
otherwise be wasted pork costs considera-
bly, more than its market price They grow
enough for home use but excepting farm
ers who have large orchards and keep pigs
